Pete Davidson, best known for being a cast member of NBC's "Saturday Night Live," is reportedly making at least $15,000 for each episode he is featured in on the comedy sketch show.

The 28-year-old actor, who is currently dating Kim Kardashian, has an estimated net worth of $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

Davidson has become a main cast member of "SNL" since joining the show in 2014. His earnings from the series largely contributed to his fortune, but these are augmented by film work and other entertainment endeavors.

The New York native makes around $315,000 annually on "SNL," assuming he appears on all 21 episodes per year. The highest-paid cast members are paid $25,000 for each episode and could earn as much as $500,000 a year, according to the outlet.

Davidson was the youngest cast member in the 40th season. He was only 20 years old when he made his "SNL" debut during the season's September 2014 premiere.

Prior to joining "SNL," he made his first on-screen appearance in the MTV comedy series "Failosophy" in 2013. He went on to appear on MTV’s "Guy Code" and "Nick Cannon Presents: Wild 'N Out."

In addition to TV shows, Davidson has made appearances in a number of films, including "Set It Up," "Big Time Adolescence" and "The Suicide Squad." He also had supporting roles in "What Men Want," "The Dirt," "The Angry Birds Movie 2" and "The Jesus Rolls."

In April 2016, Davidson filmed his first stand-up special for Comedy Central. Three years later, he announced that he would be touring with John Mulaney for a limited series of comedy shows titled "Sundays with Pete & John."

In 2020, Netflix began streaming Davidson's stand-up special "Alive from New York." That same year, the actor starred in "The King of Staten Island," a semi-autobiographical film he co-wrote with Judd Apatow, who also directed.

Davidson's dating history has also kept his name in the public eye. He dated comedian Carly Aquilino from 2014 to 2015 and Cazzie David, daughter of comedian Larry David, from 2016 to 2018.

Davidson got engaged to Ariana Grande in summer 2018, just weeks after confirming their relationship, but they called it quits by fall 2019. He was then briefly linked to Kate Beckinsale.

Davidson was first romantically linked to Kardashian in October, when the pair was spotted holding hands on a rollercoaster at Knott's Scary Farm in Buena Park, California. That outing came shortly after they shared an onscreen kiss for a sketch during the reality star's "SNL" hosting debut on Oct. 9.

Just recently, Davidson and his new lady love watched "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in the actor's native Staten Island.
